Re: Thumb Pick Force

Re: Albert Mueller
Thanks Rudi, I searched through past email and found this pic of his zither, sent to me by his daughter.....almost 10 years ago. It is indeed electric. You'll notice the knobs on the front, fret-board side, of the instrument.

Albert Mueller

In April, 1974, Vice President Gerald Ford visited Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and was treated to zither music by Milwaukee Zither Club member Hans Gassner. How about that!
